Calculator questions

How accurate are these calculators?

They use standard estimating rules (16" on center framing, 10% waste on sheet goods and decking) and are meant for fast budgeting. For a bid-ready takeoff, send plans through the quote page and we will count it properly.

Can I send calculator results to a quote?

Yes. Every calculator has an Add to Quote List button. The result lands in your quote list with the numbers attached, and the desk prices it from there.
